title: Aerosolized intranasal midazolam for safe and effective sedation for quality computed tomography imaging in infants and children.
abstract: This pilot study introduces the aerosolized route for midazolam as an option for infant and pediatric sedation for computed tomography imaging. This technique produced predictable and effective sedation for quality computed tomography imaging studies with minimal artifact and no significant adverse events.
